Just as the glamorous award season juggernaut is grinding to a halt and starry red carpet moments are becoming few and far between, along come the menswear shows in Milan to bring us the odd celebrity sighting and more strangely dressed men than you can shake a stick at.

Among a smattering of celebrities in the front row (Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers at Calvin Klein, and dapper British rapper Dizzee Rascal at Roberto Cavalli), was a blink-and-you'll-miss-her sighting of Anna Dello Russo.

Dello Russo, fashion director of Japanese Vogue, is not merely just a member of the fashion press. She is the 'Lady Gaga of Fashion Week', wearer of outlandish couture creations from head to toe. Make no mistake, Ms Russo is no wallflower.

So who was this demure and discreet dedicated follower of fashion sighted on the front row at Moncler the weekend? She sure looked like Anna; but without the crazy accessories, all eyes were on her prim, ladylike dress courtesy of the oh-so-pretty Miu Miu autumn/winter 2011 collection.

A flash of glitter in the form of a respectably sensible pair of ankle boots, and a gold clutch bag were all the adornments Ms Russo - who recently sported an oversized egg on her head on the red carpet - seemed to need.

Perhaps she was having a well-earned 'day off' from being the subject of all the style bloggers lenses, or perhaps the menswear fashion press just aren't impressed by someone who rocks up wearing a watermelon fascinator. Either way, dress down Anna scored a fashion hit from us.
